[QUOTE="The 1 and the Prime, post: 5215459, member: 91434"] Sry. I assumed people were familiar with the 1e [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outer_planes"]Great Wheel[/URL] from Gygax (which excludes the 17th "plane" the Concordant Opposition). I've seen several threads using this terminology. "Baatezu" is the 2e name for Devils, resident of the "9 Hells" in the Great Wheel cosmology. There has been a lot of criticism in old threads of the "forced symmetry" of the Great Wheel cosmology which I eventually took to mean that there are too many boring upper planes that are similar. I wish to address those criticisms. This prime material is largely unaware of the latter three conflicts on the Great Wheel, but the "Blood War" seems to be well publicized here. @Plane Sailing who posted while I was typing: If the CE guy went after the king then he would have to stop killing the things he was killing when he got the news! This way he can keep doing the bad things he would rather be doing. [/QUOTE]
